<span>Let the original number of seats in a row be x;
</span>Let the number rows be y;

( x + 3) * (y - 2 )= 72 and x * y = 72 => 72 + 3 * y - 2 * x = 72 => 3 * y = 2 * x;
=> x is divisible by 3;

1. x = 3 => y = 72 / 3 => y = 24;
2. x = 6 => y = 72 / 6 => y = 12;
3. x = 9 => y = 72 / 9 => y = 8;
4. x = 12 => y = 72 / 12 =. y = 6;
5. x = 24 =. y = 72 / 24 => y = 3;
6. x = 36 => y = 72 / 36 => y = 2;
7. x = 72 => y = 72 / 72 => y = 1;

My analysis tell me that the right answer is 9 seats in a row and 8 rows;
The original number in each row is 9.

Image on straight line graphs- please help ASAP
MissTica
Plug in (7, 12) for x and y in the equation.

12 = 2(7) + 1
12 = 14 + 1
12 ≠ 15 

Therefore, (7, 12) is not on the straight line equation.
